National postal services and parcel delivery companies combine to share their infrastructure and services as part of the EMS global network.

EMS Pricing

EMS has pioneered a range of services in recent years to ensure that customers all over the world receive a consistently good service. EMS networks now reach rural areas around the world, and they don’t apply prohibitive pricing structures for the use of these services.
